77. Jesus Is All the World to Me

1 Jesus is all the world to me,
My life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day,
Without Him I would fall:
When I am sad, to Him I go.
No other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad He makes me glad,
He’s my friend.

2 Jesus is all the world to me,
My friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings, and
He gives them o’er and o’er;
He sends the sunshine and the rain.
He sends the harvest’s golden grain.
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He’s my friend.

3 Jesus is all the world to me,
And true to Him I’ll be;
Oh, how could I this friend deny,
When He’s so true to me?
Following Him I know I’m right.
He watches o’er me day and night;
Following Him by day and night,
He’s my friend.

4 Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when
Life’s fleeting days shall end:
Beautiful life with such a friend.
Beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy,
He’s my friend.
